Buccaneers' Alterraun Verner: Will return to practice Friday

Verner is expected to be absent from practice until Friday as he tends to personal matters, Jenna Laine of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Verner is coming off of his first start since Week 2 in Sunday's win over the Chargers. He tallied two tackles in the victory. While his absence from practice will certainly affect his preparation for Week 14, he figures to return to his usual role with the club.
